Natalie smiled lightly, and said in a low voice: "Fuwen, the Presidential Palace Secretariat didn't call, but the President came to visit and is sitting in the living room now..." Luo Yaoguo was taken aback, "Why not?" Notify me earlier? The President is coming, why should I greet him outside the door, Natalie, what are you doing now..." He hurriedly stood up and wanted to go out to greet him, when he heard Luo Yiqun's laughter at the door: "Fuwen, you But I was wrong about your daughter-in-law. I came here with ease, and no one was alarmed. Besides, before I became the president, it was much more convenient for us uncle and nephew to meet. Why don’t we look like a family now? ?" As he spoke, he saw Luo Yiqun's figure appearing at the door, although the laughter was hearty, but the tightly furrowed brows revealed that the president was preoccupied.

Luo Yaoguo hurriedly went up to salute, then turned his head and told Natalie, "Hurry up and prepare some good green tea and snacks!" Luo Yiqun quickly shook his hand, "Don't bother, and I have something to say to Natalie, Natalie , you sit down too, today we are all my family here." He found a chair and sat down.

Luo Yaoguo's eyes flashed, he smiled lightly, and said to Natalie: "Close the door, let the guards watch over the corridor, and don't let people come in to disturb you." Then he turned to Luo Yiqun and said, "Uncle, what's the matter? "

"What else is there? Isn't it for this war?" Luo Yiqun smiled wryly: "I thought that so many countries would fight against the Soviet Union together, and it would be a surefire victory, right? Who knew that the situation would change so quickly! We are not fully prepared yet , the Soviet Union hit Poland first... It's only been a few days! Poland is showing signs of collapse, and Hitler is desperate and kicks the ball to us! But we are caught by the Siam incident again... You also know that the relationship between our Kuomintang and overseas Chinese in Southeast Asia is extraordinary. In the past, we had no power to protect them, and they suffered a lot! But the situation is different now, and we can be regarded as a great power after all. The army claims to be the second largest in the world, The navy is also the number one in Asia, and the air force is even known as the number one in the world! With such strength in the mother country, it is always unreasonable to let its expatriates be bullied outside, right? And now Chiang Kai-shek keeps shouting in the Philippines Kill him, and many of his supporters in the government and army also followed suit, if we don’t act positively, I’m afraid a large number of people will be disappointed in us.”

"Well, I see." Luo Yaoguo nodded and said with a smile: "We issue an ultimatum to Siam! Ask its king and prime minister to step down, and restore the original Rama VII. If they don't agree, we will Go to war!"

"What!" Luo Yiqun was also taken aback when he heard the words, stared at Luo Yaoguo, and murmured after a long while: "What about Poland? Europe also wants us to send troops, and the British ambassador, the French ambassador, and the German ambassador have all urged us... ..."

"Send troops! Prepare to send 150 million people!" Luo Yaoguo twitched his lips and smiled faintly: "We are going to send troops to Siam... Is the one in the Kremlin overjoyed? Let him be happy for a few more days!"

Chapter 0726 raid (a) counterattack?suicide?trap?

Stalin was indeed overjoyed!Just like the great leader Comrade Lenin was as happy when the Soviet Red Army launched an attack on the Polish White Army on July 1920, 7.The large-depth combat proposed by Tukhachevsky has achieved unimaginable success.

On the first day of the offensive, the defense line in central Belarus, where the 40 Polish White Army was stationed, was torn apart by the fierce offensive of the Soviet Red Army's sea of ​​fire and sea of ​​people.In the Minsk area on the northern front, the 40st Red Banner Army under the command of General Yakir tore a large hole in the Polish defense line about 10 kilometers northwest of Minsk, with a width of more than 3 kilometers. Three tank corps and three A fast column composed of two cavalry corps quickly poured in from the deadly breach in the Polish army's defense line. It took less than two days to capture the important town of Lida in West Belarus, and then advanced in the direction of Soku Uka. Pointing directly at the Buwag River.The progress of the Second Red Banner Army under the command of General Gahalepski on the southern front was even faster. The defense of the Polish army in the Pinsk area was not as strong as the defense line west of Minsk. The Second Red Banner Army broke through with almost no casualties. After overcoming the Polish defense line, the Fourth Tank Corps under the command of Zhukov as the vanguard rushed all the way, and it took only three days to kill the fortress Brest on the Bank of the Bouag River, cutting off the Polish group in West Belarus. Links between Polish armies in Western Ukraine.In addition, the 4rd, 5th, 6th, and [-]th armies responsible for the frontal offensive also made rapid progress.In just three days, countless gaps were made in the Polish defense line in West Belarus, and the soldiers pointed directly at Baranovic, an important town in West Belarus.

What made Stalin even more ecstatic was not the series of victories achieved on the Soviet-Bo battlefield, but the peace and tranquility on the Soviet-German and Soviet-Chinese battlefields.The key to this desperate battle of the Soviet Union is that Germany will not save it, and China is unable to make a major breakthrough before the winter of 1937!Although the Soviet Union had reached a tacit agreement with Germany, Ribbentrop once again rushed to Moscow to reach a secret agreement with the Soviet Union to carve up Poland.Although a series of previous intelligence shows that China will not be able to complete war preparations until April 1938, and now there is another Siam incident to spoil the situation...

But who knows if the cunning imperialists are using smoke bombs to confuse the Soviet Union?But now the war has started for three full days, and the defense lines facing Germany in northern Belarus, western Estonia, and the Great Luki region of northwest Russia are all peaceful!The Germans did not even fire a single bullet, not a single shell into the territory of the USSR!This behavior of the Germans has been called "fake war" and "sitting war" by newspapers in Western countries!

Thinking of these two words, Stalin grinned, walked to the desk and sat down, took out the carved pipe, squeezed a few shreds of tobacco from the cigarette case, put it in the pipe, lit it, took a puff, and took another Far East smoke. The battle reports of the Front Army (formerly the Far East Special Military Region) and the Central Asian Front Army (formerly the Central Asia Special Military Region) looked up.

On the current battlefields in the Far East and Central Asia, the two sides of the war are basically in peace. Except for sporadic exchanges of fire, everything is like in peacetime!The Chinese army seems to be preparing for the winter.The CCP even sent exact information, informing the Kuomintang that it is currently clamoring to attack the Kingdom of Siam, one of the only three independent countries in Asia!Marshal Luo Yaoguo, who was in charge of the National Defense Forces, even interrupted the high-level military meeting held in Shenyang and returned to Wuhan to take care of the Siam incident.

According to the analysis of the CCP, the Siam incident involved the Nanyang chaebol, the main provider of the Kuomintang’s funds, and Chiang Kai-shek, another giant in the Kuomintang...so Luo Yaoguo had to be tough enough on this issue to prevent Chiang Kai-shek and the Nanyang chaebol from combining Come together against his rule.This analysis is in line with Marx's theory that the economic base determines the superstructure, and should be correct.It seems that it is impossible for the Chinese to launch a decisive offensive in the Far East before the onset of winter.In addition, the information disclosed by Japan seems to confirm this judgment. China has promised to provide a large amount of important metal raw materials to Japan in March 1938 in exchange for them sending 3 divisions and an aviation unit to participate in the war.

"Comrade Stalin, Comrade Litvinov, please see me." Secretary Pavlov's voice rang in Stalin's ears.

"Oh." Stalin responded slowly, "please come in."

Pavlov opened the door, and Litvinov, the People's Commissar for Foreign Affairs, entered beamingly.Stalin stood up, shook hands with him, and asked: "Comrade Litvinov, from your appearance, have the negotiations with the Germans made progress?"

"Yes, Comrade Stalin." Litvinov took out a letter from his briefcase and handed it to Stalin, saying: "This is a personal letter from Adolf Hitler to you. In the letter, he congratulated the Soviet Red Army on its great achievements Victory, expressed willingness to rule the world with us!"

Stalin took out the letter paper and looked at it. The first half of the letter was written by Hitler in German, and the second half was translated into Russian.The general idea is to congratulate the victory of the Soviet Red Army, and is willing to abide by the previous agreement, and is willing to "carve up" Poland with the Soviet Union with the Buwag River as the boundary.However, Germany cannot immediately become an enemy of Britain and France, so it requires the Soviet Red Army to cross the Buwag River, so that the Polish authorities will feel scared and invite German troops to station.And Germany can take the opportunity to control the Polish government... After that, Poland will sign a peace treaty with the Soviet Union and cede all the land on the east bank of the Buwag River.

After reading the letter, Stalin let out a short, piercing laugh, "Hitler wanted to carve up the world with the Soviet Union! This is really surprising. Not long ago, didn't he still want to carve up the Soviet Union with Poland and China? These Germans are indeed capricious. Ah! Litvinov, what progress is there in the conflict between China and Siam? Will the Chinese go to war? What will be the reaction of Britain and France?"

"There is a great possibility of war. The Chinese have very high demands. They want the current king and prime minister of Siam to step down, and then let the person they support come to power." Litvinov frowned slightly, and said: " Britain and France are urging Siam to make concessions. They urgently need China to send 150 million troops to help Poland... The Poles will not want German troops to enter their country until the last moment, but the Chinese are different. countries are far apart, we can only be friends.”

Stalin took another puff of light blue smoke and said with a smile: "Then let's make Poland's last moment come sooner! Then we can concentrate on dealing with China!"

……

At this time, Warsaw, the capital of Poland, was already in chaos.Soviet TB-3 bombers flew over the ancient city in twos and threes, dropping a bomb every now and then.Although the destructive power is not great, it makes the whole city jump.The Polish Army Command on Queen Street was even more chaotic.Everyone seemed to be shouting with all their strength.The constant ringing of telephones and curses mixed with the sound of bomb explosions and the sound of anti-aircraft guns made the place extremely chaotic.

There is a large war room on the third basement floor of the building.This is the highest decision-making body of the entire Polish army. There is a huge electric sand table, a huge map of Poland, and Polish staff officers who shuttle back and forth to pass various information.And the supreme commander of the Polish army, Marshal Szymigvi, was also sitting here, listening to the latest battle report with a gloomy face.

"Your Excellency, Marshal! The battle situation on the Eastern Front is very dangerous now. The powerful tank force of the Soviets is tearing apart the defense line of the Belarusian Army. Soviet tanks have been found 20 kilometers east of Soku Uka... Brest Fortress has also been destroyed. The Red Army of the Soviet Union was surrounded on three sides. A large number of tank units were passing by the east of the fortress. Their goal may be to go up the Buvag River and outflank the rear of the Belarusian Front Army! The front of the Belarusian Front Army is also very critical. They encountered The fierce offensive of the Soviet Red Army of 150 to 10 million has now lost the first line of defense, and the main force of the Belarusian Army has retreated to the front line of Baranovich and Novogludok. Admiral Boltnovsky reported... ...if they do not receive reinforcements before October 6th, the entire Army Group will collapse!"

General Ozowski, Chief of Staff of the Polish Army, pointed at the map with a pointer, while slowly introducing the latest battle situation, with a rather helpless tone.

"Your Excellency, Marshal!" At this time, Admiral Baker, the head of the German military delegation, walked to the map platform, picked up the pointer and pointed at the Bouage River and said: "Judging from the current situation, the enemy's attack intention is very clear. Their first combat goal was to encircle and annihilate the Belarusian Army to the east of the Buvag River, the second step was to defeat the Ukrainian Army Group across the Buvag River, and the third step was to cross the Buvag River to attack Warsaw! Just like in 1920. Therefore, I suggest that the Eastern Front immediately abandon West Belarus and Western Ukraine, and withdraw all troops that can be withdrawn to the east bank of the Buvag River to strengthen the defense, so as to delay the delay. After the arrival of Chinese reinforcements, Germany and China The expeditionary force will launch a counterattack together."

"But the 40 people of the Belarusian Army can no longer withdraw!" Admiral Ozovsky immediately retorted: "Moreover, the Ukrainian Front Army has also been restrained by the Soviet Red Army's attack. When the enemy pursues... It is a miracle that 35 of the 20-man army can safely cross the Buwag River. In this way, the Polish army will lose 55 troops within two weeks after the start of the war!"

“那总比失去75万军队来得好吧？”贝克上将苦笑道：“博尔特诺夫斯基上将的报告上说，他的集团军最多坚持到10月6日……然后几百万苏联军队就会扑向乌克兰集团军，最多一个星期，这个集团军的35万人也会全军覆没的！接下来你们就只能用90万人去对付苏联的至少300万人了！”

"No! We should counterattack now!" Admiral Ozovsky said loudly: "Our Buwag Army and Reserve Army have a total of 24 armies, nearly 90 people! Hundreds of thousands of troops... still have the power to fight now! If the German army can launch an offensive on the northern front and cooperate with us, even if we cannot defeat the Soviet army, we can rescue the Belarusian army. It will be safe!"

"Are you going to counterattack?" Admiral Baker was stunned, and asked, "How do you want Germany to cooperate? We are not fully ready yet."

"Germany, China, Russia, and Italy must invest at least 100 million to 150 million troops on the western front to attack Stalin's line of defense. In addition, the German Air Force must also dispatch to provide air cover for our counterattack." Sidmig sitting in the middle Wei stood up and glanced at Wu Tuohao who was frowning and said nothing, "And on the eastern front, the Chinese army should send as many troops to the east to attack the Soviet army in the Far East and Central Asia! General Wu, the Chinese side Can it cooperate with the Polish army's counterattack?"

"Your Excellency Marshal, I will try my best to fight for it." Wu Tuohao said, "However, the cold winter in the Far East is approaching, and our offensive will not last long."

"No problem, we just need a feint attack." Shimigvi nodded, and looked at Admiral Baker again, "Can Germany launch an attack?"

General Baker shrugged, "This can only be decided by the head of state, but I will recommend in the report that he accept Poland's request."

……

East Prussia, Wolf's Lair, Hitler took a telegram from Admiral Beck, and triumphantly said to Admiral Wilhelm Keitel: "It seems that those Polish pigs are getting impatient, Keitel, look if we Would a limited offensive by Lithuania and Latvia give away our intentions?"

Keitel was also extremely excited, and the current situation seemed to be realizing the previous vision of the German High Command.The arrogant Poland was really beaten by the Soviet Red Army. In just a few days, a group army of 40 people was in a desperate situation, and those Poles who were unwilling to fail planned to put all their capital into it. Launch a counter-offensive to the Soviet Red Army!Waiting for this counterattack to fail, Poland should almost become a little brother of Germany!

"Our intentions will not be revealed, my Führer. On the contrary, this request of the Poles will only cover up our true intentions. We can tell Stalin what the Poles want, in order to obtain his consent. I believe Stalin I would be very happy to see the Poles cross the Bouag River to die! And we just launched a fatal blow in the name of a feint attack, encircling the strategic main force of the Soviet Red Army in one fell swoop!"

Hitler laughed, "Keitel, if the Soviet Red Army in Belarus is finished, will Stalin still have an army?"

Keitel also smiled slightly: "They also have the Far East Front Army and Central Asia Front Army, with a total of about 200 million to 250 million people. But the Chinese Marshal is probably already sharpening his knife. I believe he has already performed a series of deceptions. Now Stalin should have believed that the Chinese could not launch a real offensive before April 1938! However, our military mission in China reported that their seven armored divisions were ready and all their air forces were ready for battle The state is now! It is estimated that the attack will be launched around October 4."

"Very well, that way, before this winter comes, Stalin will have no army, and next spring will be his death!" Hitler was extremely satisfied, and he turned to Raeder and said: "Erich, the Chinese people's Dingyuan Have the No. [-] and Zhenyuan No. set off?"

Raeder knew the meaning of Hitler's words in his heart. With the joining of these two battleships, Germany will be able to gather six [-]-ton super battleships, plus three aircraft carriers. It's war, it looks like Hitler is determined to start a war against Britain and France!

"The head of state, General Falkenhausen, reported that at the request of Britain and France, China has agreed to send another 100 million to 150 million troops to Europe to help Poland resist the Bolshevik attack. Before October 10, an infantry corps will arrive from Guangzhou. Board the ship. The battleship Dingyuan and the battleship Zhenyuan will also set off together to serve as escort missions." Raeder paused, and then said: "However, the United Kingdom is also transferring capital ships scattered around the world back to the mainland. It seems that the British are also wary of us joining forces with the Chinese to deal with them. In addition, according to intelligence, the British have already begun to establish an early warning radar system covering the southern part of the British Isle, and their battleships have also begun to install it. radar."

Keitel frowned slightly. He didn't know much about radar, and Germany's research in this area seemed to lag behind that of Britain and the United States.Although China has submitted a joint development request to Germany, it has not attracted the attention of Germany.

"Then the six battleships of the German Navy and the Chinese Navy, and the 20 aircraft of the German Navy and Air Force can defeat the [-] battleships and radar of the British?" Hitler frowned and asked.

"Führer, we are using 6 battleships against 20 ships! Moreover, the harsh climate in the North Sea has a great impact on aircraft." Raeder muttered with some concern.His German navy is a bit outrageously weak compared to the German Army and the German Air Force. Currently there are only 3 aircraft carriers and 2 battleships under construction, and he is planning to buy 2 more from China.In addition, there are no plans for the construction of large battleships!But Hitler wanted to use such a small navy to deal with the sea overlord Britain.

"Oh, let's talk about the navy later." Hitler waved his hand impatiently, "The key now is the Soviet Union! The Soviet Union must be defeated before Britain can be defeated! Keitel, you immediately bring the Barbarossa plan fly to China for the top-secret part of the document, hand over all these documents to Marshal Luo Yaoguo, and at the same time bring back the top-secret plan of the Chinese army to raid the Soviet Union! I think we should coordinate with China on the time to launch the attack. In addition, you Ask him about the division of the territory of the Soviet Union and Poland after the war."

Chapter 0727 Raid ([-]) Counterattack of White Poland

October 1937, 10.Moscow, inside the Kremlin.Stalin was smiling with a pipe in his mouth as he held Hitler's handwritten letter that Ribbentrop had just delivered.Voroshilov, Chairman of the Soviet Revolutionary Military Council, Tukhachevsky, Chairman of the Soviet People's Commissar of Defense, Molotov, Chairman of the Soviet People's Commissar, and Litvinov, Soviet People's Commissar for Foreign Affairs, were all recruited one by one.At this time, the door of the office was pushed open again, and Berzin, Minister of Intelligence of the Red Army, walked in quickly.

Tukhachevsky knew in his heart that Stalin had told them the contents of Hitler's secret letter just now, and asked about the situation on the Supo battlefield.The situation is of course very good, better than the most optimistic imagination before!From the launch of the "surprise attack" on September 9 to the present, in just five days, the Belarusian cluster in Poland has basically been completely surrounded by Baranovic.The entire area of ​​Belarus, except Baranovic and the Brest Fortress, has been completely recovered by the Soviet Red Army!On the Ukrainian side, the Ukrainian front has also made some progress in its offensive. The Ukrainian cluster in Poland is obviously afraid of being divided and surrounded by the tank units of the Soviet Red Army like the Belarusian cluster. .If the news in Hitler's letter is true, then the Polish Front Army is fully capable of severely injuring or even annihilating the main force of the Polish Army who crossed the river to relieve the Belarusian group of the Polish Army!It is even possible to win the Soviet-Polish War in one fell swoop.However, things went so smoothly to such an extent that it was beyond everyone's expectations. Stalin, who was suspicious by nature, inevitably had to doubt Hitler's intentions.

"Comrade Berzin, your work in the Workers' and Peasants' Red Army Intelligence Bureau has been very effective. Your contribution to the victory in the first battle of the Soviet-Polish War is indelible. I hope that the work of the Red Army Intelligence Bureau in Germany and China will be equally successful."

Before Berzin could speak, Stalin put on a high hat first, which made the intelligence minister of the Workers' and Peasants' Red Army feel a little smug.

"This is Hitler's personal letter sent by Ribbentrop. It says that the Polish White Army is planning a counterattack against the Soviet Red Army. Any news?" Stalin's expression gradually became severe, and he said in a tone that seemed to be questioning: "I don't seem to have received any reports on this, and Comrades Voroshilov and Tukhachevsky don't know about it either! If this The information is true, and our Polish Front may have to suffer unnecessary losses. Comrade Berzin, I hope you can learn a lesson and avoid making the same mistakes in the future."

Hearing Stalin's accusations, Berzin could only express his self-criticism. He said carefully: "Yes, Comrade Stalin, we are summing up and have decided to further strengthen the work against the Polish White Army..."

"That's unnecessary." Stalin lit his pipe, took a deep breath, and with a satisfied smile on his face, he smiled and said: "The Polish White Army can't exist for much longer, and this counterattack should be their last attack." It’s crazy! What we want to strengthen now is the intelligence work on Germany and China, Comrade Berzin, have there been any changes in the German army and the Chinese White Army in the past two days?"

"Comrade Stalin, the German army is still mobilizing, and their strength is increasing every day. According to reliable information, this round of Germany will mobilize more than 500 million troops! It will not be completed until early April next year. After that, they will be able to Initiate a large military operation. In addition, we also found that Germany is fully producing two new aircraft and a new tank, the two aircraft are numbered BF-109 and Ju-87, and the tank is numbered Panzer III.”

"How's their performance? Can I get the blueprint?" Tukhachevsky couldn't help interjecting.
